Avocado, Orange and Sweet Potato Salad with Miso Lime Dressing

Here’s another recipe adapted from Bon Appetit’s cleanse menu – I loved it even before I made it.

I couldn’t resist the uniqueness of avocado and oranges with a miso lime dressing. It all sounded so glamorous in a carefree, perfect salad sort of way. (Has anyone ever called a salad glamorous before? What am I?)

It’s a refreshing citrus-fueled party on a plate, as far as I’m concerned. The friendly sweetness of the sweet potatoes (my addition) and the mellow creaminess of the avocados against the salty/tangy miso lime dressing makes the whole salad a happy experience. Like I’ve just had a weekend away at a spa kind of happy experience.

Relaxed and feelin good.

I’ve made some variation of it 3 times now. I threw diced tofu in one version, and roasted pumpkin and pepitas in another.

This dressing has definitely earned itself a place in my rotation – I’m looking forward to finding a few more uses for it.
